  • A Historical Survey of Socio-Political Administration in Akure Region up to the Contemporary Period
    European Scientific Journal August edition vol. 8, No.18 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 A HISTORICAL SURVEY OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION IN AKURE REGION UP TO THE CONTEMPORARY PERIOD Afe, Adedayo Emmanuel, PhD Department of Historyand International Studies,AdekunleAjasin University,Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Abstract Thepaper examines the political transformation of Akureregion from the earliest times to the present. The paper traces these stages of political development in order to demonstrate features associated with each stage. It argues further that pre-colonial Akure region, like other Yoruba regions, had a workable political system headed by a monarch. However, the Native Authority Ordinance of 1916, which brought about the establishment of the Native Courts and British judicial administration in the region led to the decline in the political power of the traditional institution.Even after independence, the traditional political institution has continually been subjugated. The work relies on both oral and written sources, which were critically examined. The paper, therefore,argues that even with its present political status in the contemporary Nigerian politics, the traditional political institution is still relevant to the development of thesociety. Keywords: Akure, Political, Social, Traditional and Authority Introduction The paper reviews the political administration ofAkure region from the earliest time to the present and examines the implication of the dynamics between the two periods may have for the future. Thus,assessment of the indigenous political administration, which was prevalent before the incursion of the colonial administration, the political administration during the colonial rule and the present political administration in the region are examined herein.However, Akure, in this context, comprises the present Akure North, Akure South, and Ifedore Local Government Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria.

    The International Journal Of Engineering And Science (IJES) ||Volume||2 ||Issue|| 9 ||Pages|| 19-31||2013|| ISSN(e): 2319 – 1813 ISSN(p): 2319 – 1805 Geo-Information for Urban Waste Disposal and Management: The Case Study of Owo LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria *1Dr. Michael Ajide Oyinloye and 2Modebola-Fadimine Funmilayo Tokunbo Department of Urban and Regional Planning, School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria --------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------- Management of waste is a global environmental issue that requires special attention for the maintenance of quality environment. It has been observed that amount, size, nature and complexity of waste generated by man are profoundly influenced by the level of urbanization and intensity of socio-economical development in a given settlement. The problem associated with its management ranges from waste generation, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal. The study involves a kind of multi-criteria evaluation method by using geographical information technology as a practical instrument to determine the most suitable sites of landfill location in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo state. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) 2002 and updated 2012 were used to map the most suitable site for waste disposal in Owo LGA. The result indicates that sites were found within the study area. The most suitable sites in the study area are located at 200metre buffer to surface water and 100metre to major and minor roads. The selected areas have 2500metres buffer zone distance from urban areas (built up areas). The study purposes acceptable landfill sites for solid waste disposal in the study area. The results achieved in this study will help policy and decision makers to take appropriate decision in considering sanitary landfill sites.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION In Okitipupa area, south western Nigeria, the The Okitipupa area is underlain by the aquifers of the Coastal Plain sands are largely sedimentary rocks of south western Nigeria. The Quaternary porous sediments, but without records zone constitutes the easternmost segment of the of their subsurface disposition. In this study, fifty extensive Dahomey basin. Studies have shown Schlumberger soundings were conducted over the that sedimentary basins generally contain study area, aimed at delineating the boundaries, enormous quantities of water (Freeze and depth range of the shallow aquifer units, and Cherry, 1979; Fetter, 1980; Kehinde and assessing their vulnerability to near-surface Loehnert, 1989; Edet and Okereke, 2002). To contaminants. realise this fact, several countries worldwide have engaged in extensive studies of basins within The study delineated two major aquifer units their frontiers, using geological/hydrogeological, within the area: (i) the upper/surficial aquifer geophysical, or chemical data, or a combination system, which occur at depths ranging from 5.8m of the above, for proper identification and (around Agbabu) to 61.5m (around Ikoya), and delineation of the water bearing

    Journal of Horticulture and Forestry Vol. 3(7), pp. 222-225, July 2011 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/jhf ISSN 2006-9782 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Households’ exploitation of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria A. S. Oyekale* and D. O. Ajesi Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Accepted 17 May, 2011 Exploitation of NWFPs poses serious threat to sustainable forest management in Nigeria. This study analyzed the driving forces for exploiting forest products in Okitipupa Local Government area of Ondo State, Nigeria. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires that were randomly administered to farmers. The data were subjected to descriptive analysis and Tobit regression. Results show that monetary worth of monthly collections of NWFPs is N12,167.50 and fuel wood has the highest average monthly collection worth N 3,576.50. The Tobit regression shows that community variable sex, age of house heads number of dependant farming as primary occupation, having alternative means of meeting the needs for NWFPs and dependants income show statistical significance (p<0.05). It was recommended that efforts to reduce degradation of NWFPs must consider development of research into provision of alternatives to some of the resources, reduction in demographic pressure and keen consideration of some cultural gender factors. Key words: Degradation, forest products, exploitation, Ondo state. INTRODUCTION Nigerian forest is renewable natural resource that provides definition of NWFP follows the classification given by timber for domestic and industrial uses, food for man and FAO (1999) where these are referred to as all biological wild animals, protective covers for environmental materials (other than wood) which are extracted from resources such as soil and recreational facilities for tourist natural forests for human use as well as services derived attraction (Popoola, 1992; Nathaniel and Adebobola, from forests and allied land uses.
